Bingo!
Salvation is based upon belief and confession and nothing else. And God says belief and confession are NOT acts of works. The ONLY way it could ever happen is if someone stops believing and confessing. See, God says what He will do, which is NEVER turn us away because of our works. But He also says what WE must do - persevere in belief and confession to the end. But a lot of people don't like to hear that, so they ignore all the looong posts of God's word that show EXACTLY what God says about it.
OSAS'ers, you CANNOT ignore these scriptures that say you must PERSEVERE TO THE END. You MUST find a way to encompass them in your beliefs. Even if they are a bit long winded. And counter to what you have believe for so many years.
And again, for 99% of us here, IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE AN ISSUE ANYWAY!

(BTW, from the git-go of that very long-ago strawman argument of followers of Arminius, even they weren't dumb enough to think Reformers didn't believe in the P of TULIP.)
